What To Do This Weekend, December 26-29

This comedian isn't just a voice on "Squidbillies," a co-founding member of the Beards of Comedy, or one of the top up-and-coming comics in the US — he's also one of our all-time favorite beard crushes, thanks to his trim and chiseled whiskers. All the more reason to catch one of his three sets this weekend and laugh off that Santa belly we've suddenly acquired this week.

Searching for a reprieve, a respite, an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? Shake off your 'nog hangover and head out to Decatur, where Eddie's Attic regular Mike Willis and friends will offer a little post-holiday amnesty in the form of an intimate acoustic set.

Better trim those bangs: this is a night dedicated to celebrating the Queen of Pin-Ups, complete with a screening of "Bettie Page Reveals All", a Q&A with the film's director, a tribute burlesque performance and drawings to win some seriously Bettie-worthy prizes.

It's no secret we're smitten with Ms. Velle's soulful stylings. Which is precisely why we're eager to emerge from our blanket-burritos and head out to the Earl this weekend to revel in those glorious pipes of hers.
